I really like it...the sidepanels look nice, as does the front bumper, rear bumper, and the fit-n-finish of the rear section. Yet...the front wide fenders look great from the front, but I kinda like the HKS Carbon rear section of the front fender better...

That 'notch' doesn't seem to want to 'jive' with the front doors. But...I suppose function before 'too' much beauty.

Cheers,

jcnel.

Um...I was responding to Maki's remark about "adding 100lbs just for the looks" comment, then when I posted I noticed that he changed his post......I will leave my statement as is.

Not entirely true...wider fenders allows you to put wider tires. Plus, don't you remember the pontiac commercial for the wide track grand-am-----"Wider is Better". For the most part I think you get better handling the wider your car is. Most of the race cars I have seen that are built from production model cars have custom wide body kits, there has to be something beneficial to it besides the looks IMO.

Think about it, I was watching the rally races on SPEED channel last night and all there cares are WIDE body. That has to say something. THE APR guys are really cool to. that have done much work on my car clubs cars, Carbon fiber kanards and stuff, plus they treated us good and have alwyas helped. I will (now that i have an evo) have them work on my car.

I agree.. you can tell APR doesn't stick to show cars anymore... looks like they are really making an effort to reach out to the tuning/racing community this past year... just look at all the race cars they sponsor or help build...
